just delivered this to the customer this afternoon, and they really loved it. Its great to get comments from the members here, but when you get reaction from a customer like that it makes all the effort worth it.
I checked into this saw when I was looking to buy. like Travis said there are some downfalls that I didn't care for. the speed change and the blade changing. One of my friends actually bought this saw for his wife, and I had a chance to look at it (he wanted to sell it). the blade holders were very different I think it would take me for ever to do fretwork with it. I'm really happy I didn't buy it and got the Dewalt.
Here is one of my latest intarsias. It's a white tailed deer. The pattern is by Judy Gale Roberts. I used sassafras, butternut, aspen, walnut, cottonwood, and ambrosia(wormy) maple.
